Guess the players

Found an old team sheet from a Pontins League Division 1 from December 1998 away at Burnley . A Very strong Wanderers 11 + 6 subs . Can you guess the line up . 

Dont expect anyone to know the Burnley team , I'd only ever heard of one of them .

  • I know he trained in Bolton for the 66 world cup. The "had heard" was a reference to a BEN headline / article when we were supposedly after him as manager 😁

  • I played in net against that City team in a trial match at Platt Lane. Still have the extra arseholes they tore me

Aye I should have said 24th May 1986 . 

 

You got 9 out of 9 and within 1k of the attendence . Have I gone from University Challenge to Tipping Point ? Thought it may have been trickier with it being nearly 40 years old . 

 

The Bristol team will be a lot harder if you dare ?!?!?!? 

Just a game/day out i remember well.

Sure that Keith Curle & David Moyes played against us? Somebody Riley scored 2?

PS don't ask me what happened 40 minutes ago, though.

Wayne Allison probably scored for them 

He always used to score against us 

Graham Bell came on as sub for us.

The Bristol players I remember;

Glynn Riley

Rob Newman

Keith Curle

David Harle(?)

Wracking my brains for the name of their other scorer that day.

Lad at work was a Bristol fan and gloated about the fact that the club actually won a Freight Rover van. Only to admit a few days later that it had been nicked from the club's forecourt.

I should know more to be fair , Simon Farnworth gave me a signed programme not long after and I used to read it cover to cover as a kid.

This one may be my head spinning but was Joe Jordan in the squad . I may be getting mixed up with a panini album though.
